Procedure
VI Peel™ St. Louis
Fresh skin is only a peel away.
Our medium-depth VI Peels at Aestheticare STL effectively target fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne, and hyperpigmentation. Safe for all skin types, this peel rejuvenates skin by removing the damaged layer of skin. After the peel has gone through the peeling stage, you’ll have a fresher, more even complexion. Peeling usually begins 2 to 3 days after treatment and lasts 3 to 5 days, so most patients plan for about a week before their skin is fully settled.

PROMOTES CELLULAR TURNOVER

VIRTUALLY PAINLESS
This medium depth peel causes minor discomfort, if any at all. For most patients, the process is quick and virtually painless.
TREATS MULTIPLE AREAS OF SKIN
The VI Peel isn’t just for your face! In fact, we can use it to treat skin on your face, chest, arms, back, and legs. It’s even safe enough for the under-eye area.
Is the VI Peel Right for You?
The VI Peel is a good fit if pigment, melasma, sun damage or active acne is your main concern and you can plan for a few days of visible peeling. It may not be the right first step if you need zero downtime, are pregnant or nursing, or have an active skin infection or cold sore in the treatment area. We review your medications and skincare at the consultation, since products like retinoids and some acne medications change the timing.
Comparing options? Our No-Downtime Peels brighten and smooth without visible peeling, and our Chemical Peels page explains how light, medium and deep peels differ. If acne scarring or texture is the bigger concern, SkinPen Microneedling is often the better match.

Before & After
Frequently Asked Questions About VI Peel™ St. Louis
How many VI Peels will I need?
Most patients need 3 to 6 peels spaced several weeks apart. Mild dullness may improve after one peel, while melasma and deeper pigment usually need a full series.
Does the VI Peel work on melasma?
It is one of the peels we use most for melasma and hyperpigmentation. Melasma can return with sun exposure and hormonal changes, so daily SPF and a maintenance plan matter as much as the peel itself.
Is the VI Peel safe for darker skin tones?
The VI Peel is formulated for all skin types. We still assess your skin at the consultation and may prepare it with home care first to lower the risk of post-peel pigment changes.
How is the VI Peel different from a no-downtime peel?
A no-downtime peel is a light exfoliation with no visible peeling. The VI Peel works at a medium depth, so it does more for pigment and acne and asks for about a week of peeling in return.
When is the best time of year for a VI Peel?
Fall and winter work best for most St. Louis patients, since there is less sun exposure while your skin heals. Starting a series in the fall gives you clearer skin going into spring.
How much does a VI Peel cost?
Most patients invest around $290 per VI Peel. We confirm your price and recommended number of sessions at your free consultation.
